Monte Carlo Simulation of Order-Disorder Phenomena in Binary Alloys

  • Chapter
Structural and Phase Stability of Alloys

Abstract

An introduction is given into the Monte Carlo technique of phase diagram calculations. Beside the standard approaches used to determine first and second order phase transitions, a most promising development is discussed, namely the analysis of the probability distributions by histograms. Applications to real alloys are considered, such as the decomposition in Cu-Co and Cu-Ni, the short-range order and critical scattering in Cu-Au type alloys, the phenomenon of surface induced order in Cu-Au models having a free (100) surface, and the interplay of magnetism and chemical ordering in Fe-Ál.
